Here there are no predatory animals, and people do not know neither illnesses, nor an old age. This island is identified with Bahrain. Shumers considered as its place of occurrence of mankind.

One more island blissful — Levka of the Greek mythology. Originally is a fantastic country on the very brink of the earth where souls of heroes live. Later, in the middle of I millenium BC, in representations of ancient Greeks is a place where after the death Ahill has been transferred. «Have buried him, — we in „Mythological library" read Apollodora, — on White island together with Patroklom, having mixed their bones.

... In the extreme West of the world known to ancient Greeks, at river banks Ocean Gesperidy, daughters of Night and Atlanta, protected the apples granting an eternal youth. To guard them to nymphs the dragon helped. In the same garden there were also sources — food of gods. To Gerakla it was not possible to anybody to extract gold apples of Gesperid. Here it has made one of the feats: whether having killed the poisoned arrow of a dragon, whether (according to other version of a myth) having sent behind gold apples Atlanta, supporting nearby the heavenly arch (taking last on the shoulders), Gerakl has seized apples. However, Athena has returned them on the place, having dealt with, thus, a question on immortality.
The similar story about the eleventh feat of Gerakla can be heard, having got to Canary Islands. And it is not casual: Ghesperids, according to some scientists, — one of the first names given by antique authors of a part of islands of this archipelago. There is no saying, whether named them so ancient seafarers.
